Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0150719, filed on Oct. 31, 2014, with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

Some embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to an optical system.

Recently, mobile communications terminals have commonly been provided with camera modules, enabling image capturing and video calling. In addition, as levels of functionality of cameras in such mobile communications terminals have gradually increased, cameras for use in mobile communications terminals have gradually been required to have higher levels of resolution and performance.

However, since there is a trend for mobile communications terminals to be miniaturized and lightened, there are limitations in obtaining camera modules having high levels of resolution and high degrees of performance.

In order to resolve such issues, recently, camera lenses have been formed of plastic, a material lighter than glass, and lens modules have been configured of five or more lenses to achieve high degrees of resolution.

SUMMARY

An aspect of the present disclosure may provide an optical system in which an aberration improvement effect, a high degree of resolution, and/or a wide field of view may be implemented.

An aspect of the present disclosure may also provide an optical system capable of decreasing deteriorations in resolution at high temperatures and/or low temperatures, maintaining modulation transfer function (MTF) performance even during temperature changes, and decreasing changes in focusing positions.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an optical system may include: a first lens having refractive power and comprising an object-side surface which is convex in a paraxial region; a second lens having refractive power and comprising an object-side surface which is convex in the paraxial region; a third lens having refractive power; a fourth lens having refractive power; and a fifth lens having refractive power. The first to fifth lenses may be sequentially disposed from an object side to an image side. An Abbe number of the first lens may be between 30 and 50. For example, deteriorations in resolution at high temperatures and/or low temperatures may be decreased, MTF performance may be maintained even during temperature changes, and changes in focusing positions may be decreased. In addition, an aberration improvement effect, a wide field of view and a high degree of resolution may be realized.

Other embodiments are also described. The above summary does not include an exhaustive list of all aspects of the present invention. It is contemplated that the invention includes all optical systems that can be practiced from all suitable combinations of the various aspects summarized above, as well as those disclosed in the Detailed Description below and particularly pointed out in the claims filed with the application.

In the present specification, a first lens refers to a lens closest to an object, and a fifth lens refers to a lens closest to an image sensor.

In addition, a first surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closer to or facing the object side (or an object-side surface) and a second surface of each lens refers to a surface thereof closer to or facing the image side (or an image-side surface). Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated herein, in embodiments of the present disclosure, numerical values of radii of curvature, thicknesses, and the like, of lenses may be represented by millimeters (mm).

Here, c is a curvature (an inverse of a radius of curvature) at an apex of the lens, K is a conic constant, and Y is a distance from a certain point on the aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In addition, constants A to F are aspherical surface coefficients and, Z is a distance between the certain point on the aspherical surface at the distance Y and a tangential plane meeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens.
